SPRINGSTEEN SONG POLL: Numbers 26-50

Counting down the bottom half of our poll naming the Top 50 Bruce Springsteen songs of all time, chosen by you.

And now, we start our official countdown of Bruce Springsteen's top 50 best and most archetypal songs -- the tracks that define what it means to be a Springsteen song.

In the end 1,245 respondents, offered the opportunity to name five songs in the poll, logged 5,619 votes comprising 189 different songs. Yesterday we logged all the songs to register one vote each, and today we get into the meat of the results, counting down (up?) from numbers 50 to 26 in our poll.

If some of the vote counts seem small, the reason will become more obvious as we get closer to the top: Of the 5,619 votes cast, a full 3,297 were for the top 10 finishers, with the other 2,322 votes spread out over the other 179 songs. (People REALLY LIKED those top 10 songs.)

But what about the second half of our top 50? Scroll through the gallery below to see the tracks that placed numbers 26-50. (And don't worry, we'll provide a full list of all 189 finishers when we get to the last post.)
